Iqama Transfer from my father

Hi Nauman,

Welcome to Expat.com!

You should have a look at other threads on Saudi Arabia - Visas forum as well.

Thank you,
All the best,
Christine

Thank you Christine.. i didnt find a relevant topic in the thread. Kindly help me advising here

Although they are not legally allowed to issue you a final exit because they hired you locally, yet do understand that this happens a lot. There are articles in labor law which they can use to request a final exit for you (for example wrongly blaming you for forgery).

Try to close matters with them in a cordial way rather than considering any litigation.

Thank you very  much @thelegend.

I have some more questions regarding my case i.e., Is it possible for a student to give transfer as an engineer/technician to any open sponsor? If yes then whats the procedure? I have my degrees attested from all the legal departments.

2. I need your experienced suggestion that is it better to remain under father or should I give transfer to open sponsor until i find a good multinational company to transfer sponsorship or Should I give transfer to this local company I joined which have no proper HR.

Waiting. Thanks sir..!

If you have degrees then you are not a student anymore
Just kidding, I know you are talking about profession 'student' on your iqama.

If you have attested degrees etc, you can transfer sponsorship to any sponsor/company. The sponsor will issue a letter called 'demand letter' ('Khitaab Talab') in your name. Your dad will issue a 'No Objection' letter in response. This letter will be on the letter head of his employer. I suggest getting this matter to some trust-worthy 'Maktab Khidmaat Al-Aama' (General Services Office). They will guide you in details.

This company HR looks like scrwed-up. I see no point in sponsorship transfer in absence of a contract. Wait and keep looking for better employers. During that time, keep under some open sponsorship.

Thank you very muchhh for your time and consideration @TheLegend.

My father is telling me that it is better to give transfer to this "really screwed up" HR company than to open kafeel.

But I have seen many people progressing by remained open and when they find good company, they transferred.

Now I am gonna be illogical I know, but can you suggest me any open kafeel. I am screwed up nowadays due to student limitation of age under his father and unavailability of open kafeel.
